'Emmerdale' fans are set to see scheming Sadie King killed off in a sensational new storyline.

TV bosses have decided to get rid of the character altogether after actress Patsy Kensit revealed she was quitting the role.

The stunning star is moving to medical drama 'Holby City'.

It isn't known how bitchy Sadie will be killed - although one idea would see her embroiled in a showdown with Kim Tate, which would see actress Clare King return to the show.

A source is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "They plan to milk Patsy's departure for all it's worth. She will be involved in a series of gripping plots next year, leading to her departure.

"People are disappointed with Patsy's decision to leave, but plan to use her to boost ratings before she goes. It could be that she locks horns with Kim Tate and discovers that Emmerdale isn't big enough for the both of them."

"It seems Sadie will be leaving in a box rather than a taxi."
